I have never been cyber bullied before, so I cannot really relate to this story. It is a great fast read and it makes you think. It is beautifully written and it seems the author knows exactly what the teens were feeling.

"If you, or someone you love, are dealing with any of these issues, know that there is someone who cares about you. Whether that is a parent, sibling, extended family, teacher, or friend, there is someone there for you. Reach out for help. The first step is always the hardest, but getting help is the first step toward recovery. If you know someone who may be dealing with any of these issues, reach out. Show that person that you care and try to help before it may be too late. Talking is half the journey."

Elise only had one year left at school and she had lived in the background at school and she just wanted things to stay the same, that was until she became cyberbullied by Luke. Elise had no idea why she had become his target but soon her whole life was out on Social Media and she found herself spiraling down into a mess until it got so bad one day that Elise needed her sister and sent her an SOS text. Elise's sister was always the popular one and turns out the reason Elise is the target is that her sister dumped Luke and no-one dumps Luke. Elise's sister has lots of dirt on Luke and so she gets her revenge and starts to give Luke a taste of his own medicine but unlike Elise who had her sister and her family to lean on - Luke's life spirals even faster than hers and he has no-one to lean on which ends on a life-changing decision that sadly no-one can reverse. Vulnerable shows the hard side and the ugly dark side of the effects of bullying and what can happen if you don't have the support around you and how easy one tiny decision can ruin your life forever. It also gives readers the reminder that every action we do, has a consequence whether it's a good one or bad one. Unlike the other bully stories, this one doesn't end in a HEA.

This book was really good. I liked the format of this book because it went through two characters perspectives, and I was not expecting the ending.
